We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

With only five precincts missing in 2010, incumbent Sheriff Keith Nygren led by 16,126 votes. Getting five percent of the vote gained the Green Party “major party” status, but the Greens did nothing with it, being unable to attract many candidates.

Such a sad, sad old man. “If Mahon hadn’t shown up and if Keith had self-destructed. . .”

LOL! If my uncle had a compressor strapped to his a**, he might have been a refrigerator. Gus, if you were the only person running you would have made a poor showing. The only people nutty enough to vote for you are the same crowd that consistently vote for “Micky Mouse” or “Donald Duck” as write-in candidates.

Speaking of goofs, where’s that other idiot Dave Bachmann? He was another all-purpose, tin-foil hat seer/loon. About the only thing he ever said was Nygren was going to be indicted and he (Bachmann) was going to die soon. He’s been so quiet, perhaps one of his predictions DID come true. We know that Nygren has not been and most certainly will not be indicted, so maybe crazy Dave had better luck with his other prediction. We can hope!

If all this is true, he should be consulting a good neurologist bc its bats##t lunacy.

But then again, maybe he got a nocturnal visitation from Great Al’s Ghost, and like the Dickens’ ‘Christmas Tale’ he was shown ‘McHenry Future’ and realizes he himself well could be a future criminal defendant if he stays in America (and not some non-extraditable safe-haven like Brazil or Cuba)

It’d be tough to mantain two homes on a $132,000/year pension, I guess.

Perhaps he’s coming back to explain what happened to the 5 Kawasaki KLR650s that the department received from the Department of Defense. Or the 6 Bose subwoofers that came with the 6 $3600 Bose TV sound systems the department bought for the jail TVs.

Or- it’s too cold in Wisconsin, and too hot in Florida. Just right here.
